3 guys on the market does not constitute an oversupply as you ar referring to. Also there a a lot more teams out there that have a lot of room to add an elite corner so the demand is by no means diminished.
you can get a good corner in the draft - just look at one of the corners you are referring to - Asante Samuel was a 4th round draft pick. Why not take your chances on getting a guy through the draft at a lower price than blowing your cap on a highly coveted free agent corner?
